I hope it views well... (1910 PA manifest above) I've had it with imageshack I've tried linking other shots on other posts .... and you can't even read them once they're posted... I've made about 5 attempts with other images... and threw in the towel...

That would be funny...... Now if we haven't scaird off our poster.....
or overwhelmed him with our brainstorming here.........hopefully he can turn up some info from family members or perhaps St. Lucy's would be able to provide him with additional info, Gus was baptized at the same church his funeral service was held........if I am not mistaken........to lazy to go back thru post.......so Anthony would have had to provide info to the church and it stands to reason that he himself attended the same church........lots of possibilities here!!!!!

"Married Milldred Arnoni(e)""Also My grandmother, Millie Cherry, do you have the spelling for her maiden name?" "My Father (Gus) was actually born in West Manayunk at a home of his aunt, in Montgomery County Just across the Schuylkill River."note: aunt = mother's sister?

Some census possibilities based on the above.
So far more very loose connections - agree, may help research if mcherry's relatives recognize any names! vj

CERASO Family:
Grandfather Anthony Cherry (Ceraso) b 1902 PA (wldspirit's 1930 Census)- What if he was born in Italy, not PA?
- What if he didn't come to US with relatives until 1921?
- It may explain why he's so difficult to find in any US record before 1930?

- (23) (notated cousin) Antonio CERASO, 20 (1899), single
